Pic 1 is a butterfly seen in Mallorca (Soller) last August - sorry is has very few distinguisjing marks.
Pic 2 is a spider I uncovered in my garage about 6 weeks ago.
Pics 3 and 4 were taken in the Pyrennes (Lac d'Oo) about two weeks ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

Pic 1 (Butterfly) is one of the 'blues' - it seems to be an old, faded, indiviual though (all species should have more spots on the underwing), so I doubt that you'll be able to identify it with any certainty.
Pics 3 & 4 ('Grasshopper') are of a Wart-biter Cricket Decticus verrucivorus, or a closely related species.
I'm not sure about Pic 2 (Spider) - and again don't think you'll get an ID from the photo (too many details that aren't shown). Some idea of the size might help...
Cheers,
Roy.

If there were some red marks on the abdomen I would be worried that this might be a Black Widow!!! :wideeyed:

The Spider is a Theridion sp Notoriously difficult to identify macroscopically.
I have no experience of "Foreign Insects"

I have checked the other pics that I took - they are nto so good but none show red marks. Thankfully- it could still be out there!!
